Trump flexes GOP muscle in Arizona primaries as Dems dodge far-left upset

Key Points:

• President Donald Trump's endorsed candidates dominated Arizona's Republican primaries, with Rep. Andy Biggs winning the GOP gubernatorial nomination by a large margin and former NFL kicker Jay Feely securing the 1st Congressional District nomination.
• Trump-backed former Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb won the GOP primary in Arizona’s 5th Congressional District, while Juan Ciscomani advanced unopposed in the 6th District, reinforcing Trump's influence in the state.
• Biggs will face Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs, who ran unopposed in her primary, setting up a high-stakes general election battle between a prominent Trump ally and the incumbent governor.
• In the 1st Congressional District, Feely is expected to compete against Democrat Amish Shah in the general election, while Lamb is favored to win the 5th District, a reliably Republican seat despite recent controversies.
• Democrats avoided a left-wing upset in the 4th District as incumbent Rep. Greg Stanton defeated progressive challenger Kai Newkirk, preventing a potentially polarizing nominee in a key battleground district.
